Which country has the best Internet?

Everyone wants to be on the Internet as quickly as possible. In Germany, this is not always easy, as network coverage and also the expansion of Internet lines is very slow. In the cities, 1,000 Mbit lines are already available, while many a village only gets Internet via wireless.

Which country has the best Internet speed?

Germany performs rather poorly in international comparison when it comes to the point of Internet speed. Germany is just 25th in the world rankings, which are led by Asian countries. However, this changes very dynamically. The values may also differ depending on where they were measured.

• In the leading places are Singapore and Taiwan with an average Internet speed of about 60 Mbit/s and 80 Mbit/s.
• Directly behind them come Sweden and Denmark with Internet speeds of 46 and 44 Mbit/s, respectively.
• Followed by other countries such as Norway, Romania, Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Hungary, Jersey and Switzerland.

If you do not know how fast your Internet is currently, you can easily find out this information via an Internet Speed Test. It also makes a big difference whether you use DSL or cable. VDSL and cable are usually much faster than normal DSL. However, since Internet lines are laid underground in Germany, the expansion is very expensive and is only completed slowly. Telekom only has a line laid when enough customers are available in the area. In the rural areas in Germany, there is also usually a slower connection than it is the case in the city.
